30+ Years of Fishamble

In 2018, Fishamble celebrated its 30th year!

​From 1988 – 1996, Fishamble was known as Pigsback, and produced 10 new plays between 1990 – 1996. Since 1997, Fishamble has continued to discover, develop and produce new plays. Fishamble has toured its productions throughout Ireland and to 19 other countries.

In 2013, to mark the company’s 25th birthday, Fishamble donated its living archive to the National Library. The National Library of Ireland accepted its archive to assist the increasing numbers of students and theatre enthusiasts interested in studying Fishamble’s body of work. This collection comprises complete and draft scripts, production and rehearsal schedules, notes, programmes, flyers and theatrical posters for plays produced by Fishamble.
